Question

Explain, in terms of collision theory, how increasing temperature affects the rate of a reaction.

Answer 1

Answer:

Temperature changes both the frequency and effectiveness of collisions.

Collision theory is related to the kinetic-molecular theory. This explains how all matter is made of particles, and those particles are in constant motion. As they move around, sometimes they collide into one another. If they collide in the right orientation, and with enough energy, the particles rearrange in new combinations - a reaction has occurred.
